LENA SCHRO0RSE HUSBAND
THE TROUBE ES OF Il JEWISH GERE
WHO M4RRIED Il CHRIsYI4K.


She Elopes 10 New York, is Married by a
Justice, and Goes Home 10 bs Chas-
tIsed by Her Indignant Brother and
Uncle.
Lena Sshroors is pretty young Poland
woman. Her parents died some time ago,
and s9e made her home with her uncle
and brother at No. 606 Grove street in this
city. Some months ago a young fellow
named Comynge took board wi tn the
family Lena took q shine to him, and he
TOOK a shine to her; but her uncle and
brother were disturbed by their love- MAX
ing. They were afraid she might marry
him. They had no special objscti on to
him, but they did not like his rel igion.
She is a Hebrew; he Christian or, at
ny rate, he isn't a Hebrew The uncts
did not want to dismiss the boarder. He
was a valuable thing to have on hand
especially pay night-even il he was a
Christian. So, to separate them, he sent
pretty Lena to New York. The FIRST thing
the uncle knew, the young boarder cut off
to New York too, and the next thing ne
knew she came back to introduce herself
to him as Mrs. Comynge. She said a New
York justice had perform ed the ce-e rneny.
Anxious to live with her uncle, she had
sought him to talk about it Her aunt
met her, and when she learned that Lana
had not been welded by a Rabbi, she
danced her into back room and locked
her up till her brother and uncle came
home. When they pat IN an appear rance
they fell on her, gave her a thrashing, and
then turned her into the streets. She
was willing to go if she could have her
clothing. but they would not give it to her,
SO she sought Justice Jareekl. III eJustics
sent demand to the house for the girls
property It was surrendered to her last
night, and the young woman rejoinad her
husband in New York. The family are
prominent in Jewish circles in this city.

Governor Green Coptempiatss Reyoluiian

WV AAOe NAooAA CUotCAtFA<Nt7r s~CsONutA1stA
The Newark ssNews' says that Governor
Green eontemplates appointing Judges for
the District Courts of all the counties in
the State coming under the General act.
To this act supplement was passed a year
or SO ago taking the appointing power
from the Cove rnor' and placing it in the
Joint assembly, Governor Green. it is
said denies the right of the Legislatures
under the Constitution to deprive him OF
any of his prerogatives. The fact that the
courts referred to vera created by legisla-
tive enactment does not alter the fact that
the law creating them was constitutional,
and, therefore, the rights conferred upon
him are also $ constit ltie nal prercgatives
within the meaning OF the constitutional
utterances on the subject. His opinion is
said to be that if the Legislature wishes
legally to deprive him of the right to ap-
point these jtdgas, it must first pass q re-
pealer to the act creating the courts. Then
it viii be in crler to pass a new net re-cre-
ating the courts with the additional pro-
viso relative to the manner in which the
judges shall be chosen. 1t is urged per
contra that no attempt at gubernatorial APP
pointment will be valid for the reason that
the District Courts are purely statutory
and are in every way subject to Legislative
control and supervision.

only few months ahead of us now. So
the pressure is being put upon him. The
men who do not want to see him with the
nomination for Sheriff are s'raining til cir
utmost to knock him out of an Aldermanic
shrievaty chances. The count of the votes
on Tuesday can alone show whether this
movement has been attended with success.
He is a pretty good workingmap. and
always has been; but the United Labor
party have refssed him their endorsement,
and have put temperance orator and
PRINTER named Greenwood up against him.
GreeEwood's record has not been spe-
cially envIable one in the past, and no one
expects to see him get any votes to talk
about. And Notwithstanding Mr.. Green
woods presence in The race, the fight is
entirely between Davis and g Abe Post.

be is a powerful worker, and will
give the little alderman lively brush.
But he will not have plain sailing. The
men who run tie First district care more
for the Police Commissionership than they
do for the Aldermanie seat, and a general
suspicion is abroad that he will be 'sold
out" to secure Jake" Kramer's election
to the Police Board.
For the first time in many years there
are no stump candidates, properly speak
ing, IN the Second district this year. The
United Labor Party have put a full ticket
in the field; and this has discouraged the
independent "stump" fellows from going
into the fay. The United Labor Party
have been making loud boasts about what

So that altogether Mr. Mils's selfish tactics
have made his Tow a pretty hard one to
hoe. In his efforts to defeat Fire Commits
sioner Windecker. he is having the help of
party of New York contractors who ex-
peet him to vote to give them the fire hose
contract. Commissioner Windecker
couldn't find it in his conscience to vote to
award the contract to them; and now, hav-
ing. it is supposed, made a contract with
Mills, they are spending their monev to
beat Windecker. The people of the Fifth
District who have honored Windecker
with election as oftea as he has
sought it. They know they can trust him,
are convinced that he had good reasons for
refusing to votesthe hose contract to the
men who are now trying to beat Linn, and

ed to the defeat of Alderman Reardon and
to the election of John j. MinihaR in his
place. Alderman Denny Reardon is one
of the straightest and most popular and
capable of the public men in the Second
district He has won the respect and COR
dial friendship of the people by his course
in public life. Min han, too, is q capable
young fellow, with an army of friends; and
he has carried the Second district once.
But then, in the first place, he ran for a
place in the Board of Education that no
one expected any elected man to fill;
and in the second place he didn't
run against Dennis Reardon. He will
probably find Dennis Reardan is an
ugly kind of an obstruction for candi
date to run against. Mr.. Reardoa is a
tried public servant, who has already
proven his fidelity to bis people, and the
mere fact that Mr.. Minihan wants to be an
Alderman will not be an effective enough
campaign cry to defeat MIN.

How Little Actress in Tights became
a Great Moral Keformer.
Nellie Gray is the name of the pretty lit
tie blonde who in short dresses dances and
sings on the boards in Metzgers saloon,
under Cooper's Hall. Last night she sat
down at table between the acts, and
gentleman friend called for wine. just as
she was summoned to the stage again she
called for a, second bottle. While she sang
for the gentlemen, her 'sfriend" at the
table slid out of the saloon. He drank up
pretty Nellie's bottle of wine first, and for
got to pay for his own. The little cants-
trice gets $12 per week from Metzger.
When she asked for her money Metzger
said he owed her nothing. She had drawn
81 of her pay. The rest was contiscated to
pay for the wine She became indignant,
and was hustled out of the saloon. She
complained to Sergeant Connors at the
Gregory str ct police station that Metzger
had the clothes that should cover all her
little frame as well as her money. An Off
Ger who was sent to the saloon with her
found it shut; and Metzger refused to open
it for her. The pretty Nelly threw her
self on the little stone step outside the
saloon door on Cooper alley. and as she
sang the refrain:
